UVA
Va Tech
(UVA clearly has a financial advantage although athletic performance hasn't followed at least in football. Tech has the more rabid football fan base but some success would bring the Wahoos out of hiding)


ODU
VCU
(In terms of total resources ODU has an edge due to having a football program but it's a close thing and if you look at it in terms of disposable resources available to meet your demands, say you need to buy a coach out of a contract, then it's the Rams for sure. As much as it pains me to say it they did a great job leveraging their F4 run. I'm keeping my rankings like this because I'm a homer)

JMU
W&M
(W&M have a few loyal fans with very deep pockets. They can and are doing what they want. The Dukes have a much wider fan base and higher aspirations).

Richmond (Similar to W&M but fewer fans. They do have a higher BB profile)

George Mason (They did a terrible job of leveraging their F4 run)

Tough to say after that.

**** just remembered Liberty. They've literally got more money than they know what to do with. A few years ago I'd have put them in the "Also Ran" category, now probably just below JMU. In a few more years they could easily be #3. They've got the money and facilities they just need to get people to buy in to their brand the right coaches and some success.
